12. Action Items

12.1 Per previous vote these calls ALWAYS occur at 3PM EST REGARDLESS of Daylight Savings Time until otherwise noted. Explanation: Daylight Savings Time (DST) is a program which moves the official hour ahead by one during the summer to preserve more daylight in the evening. DST is not universally or equally observed. DST changes have occasionally cause confusion for call NARALO times. For us this means specifically, we will be observing DST. The time of our call will remain 3:00PM EST and 12:00PM PST, but the UTC time of the call will change from 2000hrs to 1900hrs as of March until the end of DST.

12. 2. Going forward, let's list previous action items and not have a separate page - Staff: please list ALL additional action items from THIS call bellow this entry. And then list the same action items at the top of the NEXT meeting agenda.
